Brad and Angie have decided to ‘make a fresh start’ after seeking help from a spiritual counselor, biographer Ian Halperin told The Mail on Sunday.

But that does’t mean they are calling off their divorce, as he also claims they see the official separation as a ‘clean slate’ in which they can start from scratch again.

The iconic pair broke our hearts last September when they announced their split amid rumours of Brad’s drinks and drugs problems. However, earlier this month it was reported that the Mr & Mrs Smith actors were willing to try couples’ counselling.

And it seems their session, which was apparently set up by the couple’s divorce negotiator seven weeks ago at a friend’s house, has done the trick and they now realise they are happier together than they are apart.

‘There were a lot of tears,’ Ian claims. ‘Brad took the first step forward then they collapsed into each other’s arms. They had it out, right there and then in this very modest house.

‘In that moment they decided to make a fresh start.’

However, this doesn’t mean they aren’t going to go through with the divorce, with Ian adding: ‘They both view divorce as not the worst thing that can happen.

‘It’s only a piece of paper and they feel once the divorce is done, they have a clean sheet and can start their lives anew.’

Ian also claimed that the pair view themselves as the modern day Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, who married and divorced twice during their tumultuous romance.

Brad and Ange have been together for 12 years and have six children together.

The claims that they are now back on track come as Angelina admitted that she doesn’t enjoy single life.
